There isn’t a single country out there that isn’t trying to gather information that could be used to harm another country. Some more than others, but literally everyone does this. In turn, every country tries to defend against other countries doing it to them.

The world accepted US surveilance tech when it was believed to be a nation of laws and is only now starting to regret it. When Canada built Blackberry, it was actually secure by default and countries like India would not let it into their market until government backdoors were installed so they could spy on their own people.
I didn’t know Blackberry did that… but I hope India understood that if they made a backdoor India could use, then Canada and Blackberry could use it to hah… and uhhh you know Canada would ultimately share that with the USA (at least back then) if needed as part of five eyes.
Articles are like this are weird where they warn of what China can do with this data, but somehow the Fascists States of Assholia can be trusted.
The whole world needs to abandon surveilance tech.
It’s not that your own country can be trusted, but another country can use it to harm another country.
The US government has no problem harming US citizens if it suits their needs.
The US government doesn’t want China or any other country harming its citizens or the country though unless they are in on it.
It’s the same all around the world.
The US government is happy to harm anyone worldwide. China wants that power. The US wants to be the only one.
Most other countries do not.

Some more than other, sure.
